The Gift -- Louise Glück (1976)

Lord, you may not recognize me speaking for someone else. I have a son. He is so little, so ignorant. He likes to stand at the screen door, calling oggie, oggie, entering language, and sometimes a dog will stop and come up the walk, perhaps accidentally. May he believe this is not an accident. At the screen welcoming each beast in love’s name, Your emissary.
